Cybersecurity and ThirdParty Risk: Third Party Threat Hunting

The secret is out: If you want to attain protected data as a hacker, you do not attack a big company or organization that likely has good security. You go after a third party that more likely does not. Companies have created the equivalent of how to deter car thieves: Ensure that your car looks difficult enough to break into so that thieves move onto the automobile with its doors unlocked and keys in the ignition. When a burglar sees a car with a car alarm, they know that they can look and eventually find a target that isn't so well protected. Exploiting the weakest link is not new. A bank robber could go to the bank to steal money, but a softer target would likely be the courier service as they bring the money into and out of the bank.
